"saving document"

[Michael Finch]

When I select "Save As", "Save" from "File" menu nothing happens. If I use the keyboard shortcut keys I get the same result. I do not get a dialog boxes to save work. Everythng esle seems to work OK.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate with Service Pack 1 64-bit Operating System. Running on a Samsung i-7 Dual Core processor and 8GB of memory.

Inkscape version is: 0.48 it was downloade and installed on 10/27/2012

Thanks in advance,
Mick

Known issue with Inkscape 0.48.2 on Windows, triggered by opening/saving files from/to the root of a drive, tracked in
Bug #805095 "no File->Save As... dialog box if previously opened a file from root directory of a drive"
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/805095>

You can …

… download and install Inkscape 0.48.3.1 (which has this bug fixed) from
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48.3.1/>
(this latest bug-fix release has not yet been officially announced because we are waiting for the packages for other platforms to be available first)

… or reset the preferences to default values (quit Inkscape, delete or rename "%APPDATA%\inkscape\preferences.xml", launch Inkscape again), and avoid saving or opening files from the root of a drive as long as you work with Inkscape 0.48.2 on Windows.

… or open a file _not_ in the root of a drive via context menu of the explorer in Inkscape ('Open with Inkscape…'), save it again after a small edit, save it as (with a new file name), and save a copy as (to reset the paths stored in the preferences file for the various save operations), and after that avoid saving or opening files from the root of a drive as long as you work with Inkscape 0.48.2 on Windows.

48.3.1 appears to be working as expected.

Terrific - Thanks
